Description
Non-theatrical film is the term used to describe motion pictures which aren't shown in theatres, but are distributed to markets that include the educational community, home, and business and industry. Slide covers the early Hollywood-produced features and short subjects produced for homes, hospitals and correctional institutions, as well as industrial films.
